Syncopation, event density, style bias, familiarity.
Groove ratings as a function of Syncopation (A), Event Density (B), Style Bias and Familiarity (C): Small dots denote single observations, large symbols denote the mean Groove ratings of the 248 stimuli. The symbol shapes, colours, and sizes represent the Pattern Category (see Fig 4). Sloping lines represent linear regression models.
